As we round the corner on this week the finish line is starting to come into sight! Ending the week on Day 68 from seed and these girls are really starting to shine! Front left is just a crystal packed beast with golf ball sized buds (or bigger) well spaced out along the stem, more like blueberry tends to grow. Front right is showing very similar traits, while back left and right are larger more connected buds, more like Slimer tends to grow. Cool to see the two different bud structures in the same grow, fun thing with autos you know they will be close but always some differences! Buds are just plumping and firming, getting ready for their big day on another few weeks. Water intake has slowed as expected for this stage in life, 32L every four days instead of every three. Was an easy week work wise, just a light defoliation of mainly the back two plants, probably 20 or so leaves each. Back two are still seeming to be maybe a week behind front two, but they seem to be catching up fast. May have to get the second reservoir set up at the end of need to ween first two off the feed earlier than last two. Good thing is I have three full sets of AutoPots so not a problem, although I may have a problem with collecting grow gear hahaha. Can't help myself, I see stuff selling for super cheap used or clearance from stores closing and think "sure I could use another set of those". Got my last set of 15L pots in upgrade packs on clearance. Each pack came with the pot, the tray, and the 5.0 valve with all the fixings for just !!! Honestly how do you say no to that I don't know. Lights 90% @ 16" @ 750-800umol/s Water 32L every four days UV lights one hour per day mid cycle 6" Exhaust 30% 4" Intake 50% 6" oscillating fan x2 50%

Mane she’s filling out lovely I almost was too impatient and started to flush. But Only 3 leaves Started to turn but i started her back on nutes once I seen more hairs but. She’s responding nicely and they are filling out. I ultimately. Am too overly excited to make it dis far so I move to fast but None the less lessons learned patience I think the reason this one and my gsc took so long because I damaged a branch or two and it took time to heal. Which why it took so long Being overly careful caused me that because I was constantly watching opening the tents my fan fell on. My gsc so many times noob mistakes But I think she’s doing awesome

June 12, day 84, not many leaves left to remove from the upper canopy. The Euforia's buds continue to slightly increase in size, but at this point it is mainly ripening. With the greater light penetration some middle/lower buds are also putting on weight. The PPFD is roughly 700 for the canopy so the light close to it's healthy maximum. I noticed two fungus gnats in the tent which is not a big issue this late in the grow. Just to be careful I ran a fertigation cycle with h202 instead of enzymes to kill any larva in the coco. June 14, day 86, uploaded a video of the trichomes to record their development across various buds. June 17, day 89, I removed some more leaves allow more ripening of lower buds. The trichomes are getting about 5-10 percent amber, and the buds are looking pretty ripe overall. I am going to draw down the nutrient EC over the next week, and then prepare the plant for harvest. I am currently guessing the harvest will be around day 100.

Oct.7 day 68 buds are still stacking and getting harder every day & trichomes on all plants are now milky except for Trainwreck #2 which has turned into a long flowering sativa. Powdery mildew has gotten a little out of control on most of the potted girls so I started the long & tedious task of harvesting 1 plant per day starting with Blue Fire #1. Being a one-man operation I’m not looking forward to all the work that lies ahead however judging by the look and smell of these babies, should be well worth it in the end. Oct.8 day 69 cut down all the main colas on Blue Fire #2 & Strawberry Banana #2. Giving the lower branches a few more days to finish then chop chop and into the freezer. 😜😁👌 Oct.10 day 71 cut down all the main colas on Godfather OG #2 and keeping the rest for fresh frozen water hash. Also started trimming Godfather OG #1 eight days after she was harvested. First time drying in the garage which is detached from the house and is not insulated. Average temps in there this week were low 50's-60's F and 55-70% humidity. My concern was temps being too low and the fluctuating humidity. So far after eight days of hang drying in the garage with 2 small fans lighty blowing directly on the colas, God father OG #1 was dry and ready for final trim. That worked out better than I hoped. 🙌 Oct.11 day 72 Trainwreck #2 got chopped whole and is hanging. I would normally trim it up quite a bit before hang drying but I need a break today. Oct.12 day 73 Strawberry Banana #1 finally got chopped today. I shot a video of it in time lapse which compresses my five hour chop time to about one minute. That concludes the harvest of all my outdoor girls this season. Stay tuned for more photos, final weights and reviews. ...till next time Thanks for stopping by See ya and stay safe

Wedding Gelato is growing beautifully, great branch development, I gave her the pre flower clean up to remove lower branches and leaves to increase the airflow and prevent running into problems in the lower area. The plant is doing amazing, she gets water + SuperVit by RQS like all the others, no fertilizer just living soil by Sonnenerde.

Updates During Week 5 Plants switched from pre-flower to flower stage. Loads of stretching starting. Added dry amendments to the soil. Down to earth 4-4-4 at 3 tbsp for each 5 gal pot. I decided to go half dose to see how sensitive the autoflowers would be. So far they are loving it! Added another dose of worm castings. 1 tbsp of worm castings per pot on the 7th. Watering with tap water that is left out overnight/24 hrs with PH down added to bring PH to between 6.5-6.8. Watering every 3 days Plan for Week 6 Ordered Bloom dry amendments Waiting 1 more week into flowering to defoliate bottom leaves. Continuously bending LST fan leaves and bud sites . Going to make Worm casting tea Over all I am happy with how this grow is going. Noticed this strain is very sensitive to watering.

Buds werden langsam dicker. Mal schauen ob die BSS in den nĂ€chsten Tagen noch mehr purpelt. Probiere nur noch mit dem BlĂŒtedĂŒnger zu gießen.

Germination when great we are now into week one of the grow stage . I started feeding it 320ppm of the expert nutrients line of grow. She seems to be nice and healthy with the beautiful green colour I will be updating every week so tune in and thank you for looking at my diary and always remember it's 420 somewhere đŸŒ±đŸ‘

Day 124 After a lot of consideration I decided to remove Plant 2 has been removed from the tent and placed outside for the remainder of her life, she was weak and underdeveloped so I installed a tomato cage in her pot and tied her up and placed her outside. She will be placed in the garage in the evenings and put back in the morning to maintain the 12/12 cycle. Plant 1 is now solely occupying the tent and will remain that way until harvest.

They grow and grow and grow ^^ am rather impressed by those Genetics.. once again. US beats EU very bad.. as a European.. sucks ^^ or does it.. good stuff is good stuff ;) doesn't matter who. If they taste like they grow. 42FastBuds has a serious contender on Auto genetics in the middle price tier.

đŸ‡ș🇾 Week 7 - Grow Journal of Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) đŸ‡ș🇾 On the Way Back to Full Strength! After two tough weeks with overfeeding and water stress, I’m finally happy to see my plant bouncing back. The roots had taken a hit, and last week, I noticed my filter was way more clogged than usual. I believe the dead roots were broken down and flushed out, most likely thanks to Cannazym. I added it specifically to help decompose the damaged roots, and it seems to have done its job. Today, I checked the roots and saw that they have stopped browning and are beginning to return to a more normal color. They were previously quite dark, but now they’re showing signs of improvement. The root mass hasn’t regained volume yet, but I think it’s still eliminating waste. It’ll be interesting to see if more debris accumulates in the filter or if it remains clean from now on. Another great sign: my nutrient solution level has dropped, meaning the plant is feeding properly again. At the same time, my EC has decreased, confirming that it’s actively absorbing nutrients. This recovery is also visible in the canopy: it has become denser, allowing me to slightly top some central shoots that were growing past the screen and to continue working on the SCROG. The only minor issue this week was pH fluctuation. Over the weekend, it rose to 6.6, but I recalibrated it to 5.9 today. I suspect this is due to the plant still shedding dead roots, which could be affecting its balance. Either way, I’ll be changing the nutrient solution soon, which should stabilize things further. Current Grow Parameters: ‱ Strain: Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) ‱ Light Cycle: 18 hours ‱ Humidity: 70% ‱ pH: Adjusted back to 5.9 after peaking at 6.6 ‱ EC: Down to 1.1 after briefly reaching 1.3 - 1.4 ‱ Training: Light topping in the center + SCROG work + selective defoliation for better light penetration Final Thoughts: Things are improving, but we’re not fully there yet. The plant is regaining strength, the roots are clearing up, and it’s feeding well again. I’ll keep a close eye on its next developments, especially root mass expansion. Excited to see how things evolve next week! See you next time for another update! âž» đŸ‡«đŸ‡· Semaine 7 - Journal de Culture de Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) đŸ‡«đŸ‡· On est en train de revenir Ă  la pleine forme ! AprĂšs deux semaines compliquĂ©es marquĂ©es par une surnutrition et un stress hydrique, je suis heureux de voir que la plante repart dans le bon sens. Les racines avaient bien souffert, et en observant mon filtre la semaine derniĂšre, j’ai remarquĂ© qu’il Ă©tait bien plus encrassĂ© que d’habitude. J’en conclus que les racines mortes ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©truites et Ă©vacuĂ©es, sĂ»rement grĂące au Cannazym. J’avais ajoutĂ© ce produit pour faciliter la dĂ©composition des racines abĂźmĂ©es, et cela semble avoir bien fonctionnĂ©. Aujourd’hui, en observant les racines, j’ai constatĂ© qu’elles ont arrĂȘtĂ© de brunir et qu’elles commencent Ă  retrouver une couleur normale. Elles Ă©taient auparavant bien sombres, mais leur Ă©tat s’amĂ©liore nettement. Pour l’instant, la masse racinaire n’a pas encore repris en volume, mais je pense qu’elle Ă©limine encore des dĂ©chets. Ce sera intĂ©ressant de voir si mon filtre continue Ă  accumuler du dĂ©pĂŽt ou si tout est dĂ©sormais propre. Autre signe encourageant : le niveau de ma solution nutritive a bien baissĂ©, ce qui indique que la plante se rĂ©alimente correctement. En parallĂšle, mon EC a Ă©galement diminuĂ©, preuve qu’elle absorbe bien les nutriments. Cette reprise se reflĂšte aussi visuellement : la canopĂ©e s’est densifiĂ©e, ce qui m’a permis de lĂ©gĂšrement Ă©tĂȘter certaines tĂȘtes centrales qui dĂ©passaient du grillage et de continuer mon travail sur le SCROG. Le seul petit point de vigilance concerne le pH, qui a fluctuĂ©. Ce week-end, il est montĂ© jusqu’à 6,6, mais je l’ai recalibrĂ© aujourd’hui Ă  5,9. Je pense que ces variations sont dues au fait qu’elle se dĂ©barrasse encore de ses racines mortes et qu’elle n’a pas encore retrouvĂ© un Ă©quilibre complet. De toute façon, je vais bientĂŽt renouveler la solution nutritive, ce qui permettra de repartir sur une base stable. ParamĂštres de culture actuels : ‱ VariĂ©tĂ© : Mother Gorilla (Royal Queen Seeds) ‱ PhotopĂ©riode : 18 heures de lumiĂšre ‱ HumiditĂ© : 70 % ‱ pH : ajustĂ© Ă  5,9 aprĂšs une fluctuation jusqu’à 6,6 ‱ EC : descendu Ă  1,1 aprĂšs ĂȘtre montĂ© Ă  1,3 - 1,4 ‱ Taille & palissage : lĂ©ger topping central + travail sur le SCROG + retrait de quelques feuilles pour une meilleure pĂ©nĂ©tration lumineuse En conclusion : Les choses s’amĂ©liorent, mais ce n’est pas encore complĂštement gagnĂ©. La plante reprend de la vigueur, les racines s’éclaircissent et elle recommence Ă  bien se nourrir. Je reste attentif aux prochaines Ă©volutions, notamment sur la masse racinaire. HĂąte de voir comment ça progresse la semaine prochaine ! À la semaine prochaine pour un nouveau point ! đŸ€˜đŸ˜Ž

She is starting to kick off buds nicely. The smell is fantastic makes me wanna slap my momma. I've been defoliating the plant here and their to allow more light to get through her
